The man who wants to be chairman of Rangers International, Dave King, said over the weekend:
“In particular I see a present need to utilise the time we have over the next few seasons to be prepared, both financially and on the pitch, to compete with our Glasgow neighbours when we get back (sic) to the top League.”
Therein lies the problem. Oldco Rangers under David Murray were driven, “10-in-a-row and two European Cups” was the target Terry Butcher attributed to his former employer. They lived in someone else’s shadow but needed to think of themselves as superior. As a consequence, they lost everything.
Now the same crew at it again. “Compete with our Glasgow neighbours”. Why not just live within your means? Be as good as you can be, run your affairs in an ethical manner, whether you win, lose or draw? Spend the early years of Newco trying to compete with Celtic and the only thing you’ll achieve is a pervading sense of failure.
The Battle for the Blazer, AKA the bid by King to persuade the SFA that despite the enormous evidence to the contrary, he is Fit and Proper to be a director of a Scottish football team is surely pointless. Rangers International don’t need King as a director, all they need is his money, or anyone’s money. King doesn’t need to be a director to exact effective control over the club, all he needs to do is appoint proxies. The SFA must issue the JP McEnroe retort, “You cannot be serious?”
My apologies if King’s target is Partick Thistle.

Preparation ?

So, the resolution has gone mainstream. Interesting days ahead.
Richie,
The Celtic Board has urged that the motion be rejected according to that.Is he making that bit up or are the Board indeed going to do so do ye think.?
dd,
Do you know Freddie raced Allan Wells down Alexander St ?
Nae laughin..
TCR
Aye, he told me. Still insists he should have been an Olympian. Sadly, he walks with a bad limp now. Good Tim!
Richie #TeamOscar @ 23:25
That’s interesting.
I thought the Celtic agm proposal was about the old rangers getting a uefa licence when they shouldn’t have.
I know nothing. In fact I’m confused.
dd,
Also claimed to have a better time over a mile than Yifter the Shifter..
How do ye know him?
Just heard ma wee band might have a gig in Celtic Park – Kerrydale Suite – before the Hearts game in December. If it comes off my old dad, and his 13 brothers and sisters, will be smiling down on us. We’ll still be rubbish right enough!
Played a few gigs downstairs in the Radnor. First pub I had been in that had a punchbag as a pub-game.

Very interesting. A misreporting of the aims of the resolution to the AGM. The resolution, whilst mentioning areas of concern, asks for a UEFA investigation into the issue of a UEFA licence n 2011.
The following article provides more detail of how that came about.
http://www.onfieldsofgreen.com/crystal-myth-the-untold-story-of-the-wee-tax-case/#more-1031
The more they try to deflect from the key issue, the more obvious it is that the SFA have a case to answer.
I urge everyone with an interest in the matter to read the article.
dd,
mmm,you’ve gave me a bit of food for thought there mate.
Too cryptic when yer half mugged bud.Did Dixie txt ye back?

========================
You are right the resolution is about the 2011 UEFA licence issue and the fact that it has been misreported tells us there is a case to answer.
Love this

Just in.
Shift work. Giving it up. The governments meaningless jobs.
Handsome hun finder.
Saint stivs,
Pour a beer and chill..
Who gave the Express the slant on that story?
That is the question IMO.
I would never trust anything published in the MSM
TCR
Nothing cryptic, family friends. Dixie has never got credit :))
The rest of the press pack will be spinning then submitting copy now that someone has gone to press.
You know that they all lurk here.
Auldheid @ 23:59
Thanks. I’m not sure tha the fact that it has been reported means “that there is a case to answer”.
I think there is. I just don’t follow your logic.
Does the report also hint at how Celtic will be treated in the press about this?
How long before the board are pilloried on here for a position against a non-existent motion?
not long, I guess.
Dean Herbert? Writer of that Express article? Never heard of him.
Richie
I know for a fact that Mr Guidi does.
How you keeping Mark? :)
i suspect some may even post. lob a grenade in from time to time

Not sure where your getting your legal advice guys but PLOD tried to serve a caution on me in the street 3 years ago.
I refused to accept it point blank at which point the two of them would have persisted with their miscarriage and arrested me. However having a friend as a witness (that they were blissfully unaware of) evened things up and after some non alcoholic, non foul language tet a tet lasting around 30 minutes the book went back in the little pouch of the little person trying to fabricate a non existent event after realising it was escalating from an unfounded and unprovable accusation of pissing in the street to a case of …………”will the real perjurer please stand up”……..when it got to court.
They shit themselves and backed off lest they become the ones getting nicked and sacked.
After the caution was sent to me by post with a 28 day period to reject it or be treated as guilty of the offence I began my own research before instructing my solicitor to issue my “on yer bike” letter to them which was incurred at my expense.
I learned a few things………
1. If you reject the caution it gets returned to the issuing officer who can reconsider/rescind it
2. You can take the matter to the Sherriff Court if the issuing officer persists with it
3. You can escalate from the Sherriff Court and request trial by jury if you persist with it
4. At no time is the Crown liable to admit any wrong doing or even tell you they are not pursuing it
Its not right that it worked in my favour because of my witness and my ability to pay the lawyer the 95 quid but thats what your dealing with.

Read the link to On Fields of Green.
The case to answer is there, not in the diversion the Express has published.
